Why I Love Papa P Like A Musical Scene In A Movie

Meet my ultimate showbiz crush! He recently starred in a movie where a scene portrayed  restaurant musicians playing their guitars while one of his leading ladies walked towards the kitchen to meet him. The manner in which the guitarists strummed their strings made me think of one of those roland fp 50 at guitar center which makes notes hit you straight to the heart and stir emotions you never thought you are capable of expressing.  My idol has gone through so many intrigues previously and I swear I was one of those close enough to giving up on him or her- go figure. Yet personally, I think when you are a great actor and you love your job nothing can ever put you down....not even your gender. I still say, I LOVE YOU PIOLOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Seven Reasons Why 47 Ronin is a Must Watch Movie

"I will search for you in ten thousand worlds, in ten thousand lifetimes...until I find you."

                    -Kai to Mika (47 Ronin)

I just arrived home from another movie date with my boys. I personally think that 47 Ronin, distributed by Universal Pictures starring Keanu Reeves is a movie one shouldn't miss watching on the big screen.

Why?

1. The plot is superb. Set in Japan depicting the 18th century heroic story of the 47 Ronin (Samurai) who avenged the death of their leader. It shows the world how honour and love of country and fellowmen supercedes everything including one's personal happiness.

2. Acting at its best. Keanu Reeves is Keanu Reeves- not just a gorgeus face but someone who becomes what he portrays, even each strand of his hair seems to follow the character's destiny. And yes the rest of the cast more than gives justice to their portrayed roles. Watch how a teardrop falling across Mika's (played by Japanese actress Kou Shibasaki)  porcelain skin could stir in you a gazillion of deep emotions.

3. Action packed scenes! Be prepared for those gritting fight scenes that makes you grateful not having lived in an era where watching men fight to death defines entertainment. The gory and violent parts of the film and the powerful portrayal of dying could confuse the kid's minds though so parental guidance is warranted.

4. A display of Japan's colorful and magnificent culture in all its glory....Costumes and designs as well as architecture and art at its finest marvelously crafted..  from swords to dances and masks...

5. Visual effects that enhance the imagination of kids and kids at heart....

6. The marvelous example of love of family, country, fellowmen and dignity...and living a meaningful life and not dying in vain...

7. a moving story of TRUE LOVE that defies fate itself and conquers all evil....

I could go on and on but I shall not cut the suspense for you...

Find out for yourself why 47 Ronin is a certified blockbuster....

Have fun!-til our next movie date!

Smartphones, Laptaps, Applications and THAT THING CALLED LIFE

I wasn't really a gadget type of girl until I discovered the joy of sharing my thoughts. I could still remember how elated I was years ago when my mom bought me a portable typewriter. For someone with a messy handwriting like me, a gadget that could put my words neatly on a sheet of paper back then was heaven sent!


I recall being a fan of Doogie Howser M.D. who at the end of every episode of the tv series would encode his thoughts on a PC. I used to tell myself if only I had a computer too I'd probably spend so much time just writing my thoughts! I kept so many diaries through the years.

A Must Have When Erasing Data: A Drive Scrubber

Pauley Perrette as Abby Schutto of NCIS

I am an avid fan of the show NCIS and can't wait for Season 11 to start. It amazes me to see the actors portray the dedication to solve a crime. I particularly like the character of Abby, (portrayed by Pauley Perrette) a highly intelligent forensic investigator tasked to recover evidence from bugs, hair, cloth, fibers.. and yes, even fragments of a hard drive.


I have always thought that a smashed computer is already rendered useless. Since I have been watching this show, it made me realize that my personal information is not totally deleted unless I wipe a hard drive. I can never imagine the damage it would do if I sold my old laptop without going through this process first. All my stuff would be at the mercy of a hacker if they opt to! It is a good thing that I was able to watch a re-run of NCIS before I put up an ad to sell any electronic gadget.

"On The Job"

     "ON THE JOB"- A film I am excited to view not only because it stars my favorite actor but because viewers gave it a two-minute standing ovation at its screening at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France on May 2013 having been one of twenty one selected films featured in the Director's Fortnight.
